For those times when you just can’t make it to the gym, resistance tubing offers an inexpensive and portable way to get a full-body strength-training workout at home or on the road.
As with all exercise, it is important to warm up for five to 10 minutes and gently stretch the muscles you will be working. For beginners, it is best to do one set of 12 to 15 repetitions of each exercise. Intermediate exercisers (those that have been lifting weights for up to three months) can perform one to two sets of each exercise. More advanced strength trainers (those who have been lifting weights or using tubing for more than three months) should try to complete two or three sets of 12 to 15 repetitions. Stretch each muscle group after each set and at the end of the entire workout to improve flexibility.
Perform the following exercises for a quick full-body workout:

There are so many great benefits to ballistic training. For example it has been proven time and time again that women can build up to 25% more bone mass by simply doing one set of jump squats in the morning and one at night, in comparison to no activity. Not only are jumping and other plyo-metric style exercises effective resistance work, but they are also efficient in getting your heart rate up and burning TONS of calories.
All that being said there are some serious things to consider before you decide to attempt a work out such as this one.

I wanted to give you all a little gift today. Usually something like this would come in the form of one on one advice, or a paid consultation, but I like you and I’m feeling generous 
Everybody wants to lose fat right? Cardio is the way to do it, but no one wants to spend 2 hours a day on a treadmill. efficiency is what it’s all about. You’ve heard me say that multiple times before. Well I’m going to show you how to burn more fat and calories in 30min than you could in 3x the time!

One of the things that I hear all the time is “I don’t have the time to work out” or “I can’t commit to a training program because I travel too much.” Well it’s all BULL. There is always a way to stay healthy and keep yourself fit.
Today I am going to give you a workout that you can take with you anywhere. There are no excuses. your hotel has no gym?, No problem you can do this in the privacy of your room. It’s snowing out so you can’t go running? No problem, reduce your rest time to 15 sec and your heart rate will be high enough to get great aerobic benefits. You’re not confident enough to do some complex routine? No problem, there are only a few exercises in this routine, and the are all basic, yet effective.
ok, enough jabbering, let’s check out the work out!!

I’ve had a few workouts in here so far that can be done at home with little to no equipment. This one is the the other end of the spectrum. This is a hard core, no holding back, all out ass kicker! Not for the feint of heart, and NOT for beginners….but it is a lot of fun!
To do this you will need a very complete home gym, or belong to a health club with a variety of equipment. You also might need a bucket to catch your lunch…

Buns and thighs. I know, those are the trouble spots. people want to tone and loose fat, but not spend 2 hours a day doing it. So let’s get efficient. What we want to do is hit the major muscle groups with high volume to create the highest anaerobic endocrine response, and burn the most calories all at once. By combining high volume with high heart rates you can slim down an area faster than you ever imagined. Even if you feel that area is too bulky with left over muscle from a life of sports in your past.
A lot of women are worried about bulking, but with a workout like this, all you do is lean out. It creates deep dense muscle and stimulates your metabolism to kick you into fat burning over drive!!
Here’s the best part, all you need, is you!

Ok, I thought I’d try this out, let me know what you think.
All you need for this workout are two one gallon jugs of water. You can use old milk jugs even, as long as it has a handle. Make sure they’re full! This work out can be done anytime anywhere. Take it with you on vacation, to a business trip, or just at home if you don’t have any equipment. There’s always a way to get healthy and stay on track. You just have to make the commitment to yourself and your future to do it. No more excuses!!
Check it out!
